In A Gentle Way, You Can Shake The World
"In a gentle way, you can shake the world."
Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) was an Indian lawyer, politician, social activist, and writer who became the leader of the nationalist movement against the British rule of India.
Gandhi employed nonviolent resistance when leading the successful campaign for India's independence and in turn inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. drew from the writings of Gandhi in the development of their own theories about nonviolence.
Time magazine named Gandhi the Man of the Year in 1930; he was the runner-up to Albert Einstein as "Person of the Century" at the end of 1999; and in 2011, he was named as one of the top 25 political icons of all time by the magazine.
Hello! I am a multidisciplinary designer and have been with the Laidlaw Foundation for over five years, working to strengthen our global Scholar community and amplify the impact of our programmes.
My work lives somewhere between design, education, and anthropology, usually with sticky notes involved. I studied Human Sciences as an undergrad and am currently doing a Master’s in Anthropology at UCL. Degrees I struggle to explain at parties.
Born and raised in Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 Outside of work? Probably in the ceramics studio, wandering aimlessly with a podcast in my ears, attempting a handstand, or watching far too much TV. Big fan of nature and very small bugs.
